Dr. Anan Chongkaewwatana, a researcher in virology, Biotech, has posted a personal Facebook page. Anan Jongkaewwattana On March 12, a research report from a team of researchers in Hong Kong found that Omikron held on stainless-plastic-glass for up to seven days in humidity conditions. and last longer than the original species The content states that
The results of this experiment from a research team in Hong Kong are interesting. Compare the stability of the virus. (The ability of the virus to infect) on different surface types between the omicron and the original strain. The results showed that both strains of the virus lost their infection to some degree (about 10 times) almost as soon as they were outside the body and settled on surfaces. But after that, differences can be seen between the strains. Omicron tends to stay on at least three surfaces – stainless steel, plastic and glass – longer than the original strain. for up to 7 days in the humidity and temperature conditions under this experiment. But on the paper surface, viruses deteriorate more quickly and don’t last as long.
The trial did not compare airborne viruses or aerosol, which have the possibility that omicrons may stay in the air for longer. This may explain the virus’s ability to spread quickly and rapidly.
